[ARCHIVED] 'Keep Furniture' not working when moving

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.103.315.2020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Move a household out of the house via the phone and select "keep furniture"
What happens when the bug occurs? I try to move them out from this house, keep furniture, and move into an unfurnished apartment in San Myshuno. As you can see you on the photos, I have enough money and should have $19k left over in addition to all my household furniture. When I arrive at the new apartment however, I have only $481 and nothing in my household inventory except items that were previously there. 
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to move and keep my furniture and keep the same amount of remaining funds as it said it would

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I have a family that is living in a residential in Tomarang, 1 Tam Nang Sands. This house appears to have been buggy the whole time: it was showing up as only costing $10k to buy when the previous family died off and I could buy it. I moved out of a different residential unit (the green moldy townhouse in downtown Tomarang) and into this lot, and about half of my household inventory came with us that time if I remember correctly. Now when I try to move out everything vanishes and the remaining funds are drastically incorrect. I don't see a way around this without cheating my funds and re-purchasing everything, but that still won't make up for the personal items I want to keep!

    Alright, so I tried a few more things to see if I could get the game to move my family properly, and none of them worked.

    I tried moving to different lots, both in the same neighbourhood, and outside of WC. I still got robbed.

    I moved them into their previous dwelling they lived in before Cypress Estates (an apartment). Robbed.

    I tried selecting the option to keep the furniture, and like others have said: I was robbed, and no furniture migrated.

    I made a $56k lot specifically to maximize their $60k budget, only to have negative funds when I arrived ...

    (Or in other words, I was robbed so aggressively, that my future generations can consider themselves broke. Overkill, bro.)

    Anyway, after putting it off for ten years (despite dealing with 100's of glitches), I finally read the thing about how to upload save files.

    So I did. And hopefully I did it correctly. If not, I might try again, or wait another 10 years to attempt it again. But this is the link:

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?  My sim has a house at Comfy Cubby (one of the smallest plots in Newcrest). When I try to move her from there to another plot (first I tried was to Slipshod Mesquite in Oasis Springs, second I tried was to Sandy Run in Newcrest, third I tried was Midtown Meadows in Newcrest), all the items that should have gone into household inventory just disappeared. I'm positive that I selected Keep Furniture.
    What happens when the bug occurs? When I tried to move to Slipshod Mesquite, I ended up with no household inventory and $9,999,999. With Sandy Run and Midtown Meadows, I ended up with no household inventory and the same amount of simoleons
    What do you expect to see?  My items in my household inventory with my simoleons intact

    This just happened to me too, I play on PS5 and have all the packs. Game is fully updated to the most recent version.

    I selected the option to keep furniture when moving to an empty lot, and no money was given to me for the furniture (about 60K of furniture) and it didn't go into household inventory. Just vanished. The five items I already had in household inventory were intact.

    Luckily I made a save point just before choosing to move because I know how this game can let a person down.

    I'm going to reload the save and go into build mode first, selecting what I want to keep and selling the rest. Unfortunately that takes far more time than it should if the game was working properly.

    So weary of encountering bug after bug after bug in the last few weeks, sad to see what could be a consistenly great game break all the time.

    UPDATE: I went back and selected sell all furnishings and didn't get the money for the $40K or so in furnishings that I left behind. I'm just going to cheat the money back and move on as that's apparently the only option.

  • @DramaQ1 That is also what I had to do, too. It's ridiculous, right?!
    (I also have a game full of bugs. I'm currently writing this reply while I wait on my game to repair for the 10th time today [it keeps randomly freezing, making me have to close it from task manager]. I can barely click my mouse without triggering a LE notice ...

    This broke move crap also seems to be random. Because since I've posted, I've probably moved that household three more times, and it's been fine. However, I also started a new legacy save yesterday, and the first time I tried moving them ... BAM! They were robbed.

    November 1st 2024. I'm now experiencing this issue on PS4 so absolutely not a mod issue 

    Platform: PS4 

    Issue: household inventory empty on moving lot, I definitely clicked keep furniture, I even asked my partner to check when I went back a save and attempted moving again 

    What should happen: furniture moves with household when keep furniture is selected 

    When does it happen: every time 

    DLC owned: all of it minus a handful of kits. 

    When did it start: after installing life and death yesterday October 31st. 

  • This is happening to me as well on PC when trying to move to Ravenwood. It doesn't matter if I select keep furniture (furniture will remain at the sold lot) or if I sell my furniture (furniture still remains at old lot) - once moved my funds amount to prior simoleon balance less the cost of the lot. I can see during the loading screen my simoleon balance change from about $56k to $17k once loaded and in live mode. 

    I tried moving all wanted furniture to my inventory prior to moving, cheating my balance to what it should be, then placing a house from the gallery. However, that resulted in the game crashing, not allowing me to place plants into planters from my household inventory, even with MOO. I'd click to place it, and it just wouldn't work. Instead of staying in place it continued to move with my cursor.

    I've tried repairing the game with no success. I gave up after the game crashed. I don't use any mods.
